Isaiah 30
1 “Woe to the rebellious children”, says the LORD, “who take counsel, but not from me; and who make an alliance, but not with my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin;
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ ciana iria nemi irĩ na haaro-ĩ! o icio ihingagia mĩbango ĩtarĩ yakwa, na igathondeka ngwatanĩro, no ti na Roho wakwa, igakĩiganĩrĩra mehia igũrũ rĩa mehia;
2 who set out to go down into Egypt without asking for my advice, to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt!
o icio ciikũrũkaga igathiĩ bũrũri wa Misiri itaahoete kĩrĩra; icio ciethaga ũteithio wa kũgitĩrwo nĩ Firaũni, na ikehoka kĩĩruru kĩa bũrũri wa Misiri gĩtuĩke rĩũrĩro rĩacio.
3 Therefore the strength of Pharaoh will be your shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
No ũgitĩri ũcio wa Firaũni ũgaatuĩka wa kũmũconorithia, na kwĩhoka kĩĩruru kĩa bũrũri wa Misiri gũkaamũrehera thoni.
4 For their princes are at Zoan, and their ambassadors have come to Hanes.
O na akorwo marĩ na anene kũu Zoani, na mabarũthi mao nĩmakinyĩte Hanesi-rĩ,
5 They shall all be ashamed because of a people that can’t profit them, that are not a help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.”
andũ othe nĩmagaconorithio nĩ ũndũ wa andũ matangĩmaguna na ũndũ o na ũrĩkũ, arĩa matangĩmateithia kana mamagune, tiga o kũmaconorithia na kũmarehera thoni.”
6 The burden of the animals of the South. Through the land of trouble and anguish, of the lioness and the lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches on the shoulders of young donkeys, and their treasures on the humps of camels, to an unprofitable people.
Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri nditũ ĩkoniĩ nyamũ cia Negevu: Mabarũthi mao makuuaga ũtonga wao na ndigiri, na igĩĩna ciao magaaciigĩrĩra maguku-inĩ ma ngamĩĩra, magatuĩkanĩria bũrũri wa thĩĩna na wa mĩnyamaro, bũrũri ũrĩ mĩrũũthi ya njamba na ya nga, na nduĩra na nyoka iria ĩticũkaga, macitware bũrũri wa andũ matangĩmaguna o na atĩa.
7 For Egypt helps in vain, and to no purpose; therefore I have called her Rahab who sits still.
Nĩgũkorwo ũteithio wa Misiri nĩ wa tũhũ na ndũrĩ kĩguni. Nĩ ũndũ bũrũri ũcio ndĩwĩtĩte Rahabu ũrĩa Ũtarĩ-ũndũ-Ekaga.
8 Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come forever and ever.
Na rĩrĩ, rĩu thiĩ ũmakururĩre ũhoro ũyũ kĩbaũ-inĩ, na ũwandĩke ibuku-inĩ rĩa gĩkũnjo, nĩgeetha ũgaatuĩka ũira wa gũtũũra matukũ marĩa magooka.
9 For it is a rebellious people, lying children, children who will not hear the LORD’s law;
Nĩgũkorwo aya nĩ andũ aremi na nĩ ciana itũire iheenanagia, ciana itendaga gũthikĩrĩria ũtaaro wa Jehova.
10 who tell the seers, “Don’t see!” and the prophets, “Don’t prophesy to us right things. Tell us pleasant things. Prophesy deceits.
Nacio ciĩraga ooni-maũndũ atĩrĩ, “Mũtigatuonere maũndũ mangĩ!” na ikeera anabii atĩrĩ, “Tigai gũtũrathĩra maũndũ ma ũhoro wa ma! Twĩragei maũndũ marĩa mangĩtũkenia, na mũtũrathagĩre maũndũ ma maheeni.
11 Get out of the way. Turn away from the path. Cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.”
Eherai njĩra-inĩ ĩno, muume gacĩra-inĩ gaka, na mũtige gũtwĩra ũhoro wa Ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Isiraeli!”
12 Therefore the Holy One of Israel says, “Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely on it,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Isiraeli ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Tondũ nĩmũregete ndũmĩrĩri ĩno, mũkehoka ũhinyanĩrĩria, na mũgatua maheeni kĩndũ gĩa gwĩtiiranagia nakĩo,
13 therefore this iniquity shall be to you like a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly in an instant.
rĩhia rĩĩrĩ rĩgũtuĩka ta rũthingo rũraihu na igũrũ, rũrĩ na mwatũka ũrĩa ũikaraga o ũkĩaramaga, rũrĩa rũmomokaga o narua, o rĩmwe.
14 He will break it as a potter’s vessel is broken, breaking it in pieces without sparing, so that there won’t be found among the broken pieces a piece good enough to take fire from the hearth, or to dip up water out of the cistern.”
Rũkoinĩkanga tũcunjĩ ta nyũngũ, rũthethereke rũtegũcaĩrwo, ũndũ hakaaga gacunjĩ o na kamwe gakoneka kangĩruta mwaki riiko, kana kangĩtaha maaĩ kuuma gĩthima-inĩ.”
15 For thus said the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, “You will be saved in returning and rest. Your strength will be in quietness and in confidence.” You refused,
Mwathani Jehova Ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Isiraeli ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Njĩra ĩrĩa ĩngĩtũma mũhonoke no ya kwĩrira na gũikara mũtegwĩtanga, naguo hinya ũrĩa mũkaagĩa naguo ũkooneka nĩ ũndũ wa gũikara mũhooreire na kwĩhoka, no macio mothe nĩmũmaregete.
16 but you said, “No, for we will flee on horses;” therefore you will flee; and, “We will ride on the swift;” therefore those who pursue you will be swift.
Mwoigire atĩrĩ, ‘Aca, nĩtũkoora tũhaicĩte mbarathi.’ Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩmũgakĩũra! Ningĩ mũkiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Tũkaahaica mbarathi iria irĩ ihenya mũno tũũre!’ Nĩ ũndũ ũcio arĩa makaamũtengʼeria magaakorwo marĩ na ihenya mũno o nao!
17 One thousand will flee at the threat of one. At the threat of five, you will flee until you are left like a beacon on the top of a mountain, and like a banner on a hill.
Andũ ngiri makoora nĩ kũmakio nĩ mũndũ ũmwe; na inyuĩ inyuothe mũũre nĩ kũmakio nĩ andũ atano, nginya mũtigwo mũhaana ta mũtĩ wa bendera ũrĩ kĩrĩma-igũrũ, o na ta bendera ĩrĩ karĩma-igũrũ.”
18 Therefore the LORD will wait, that he may be gracious to you; and therefore he will be exalted, that he may have mercy on you, for the LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for him.
O na gũtariĩ ũguo-rĩ, Jehova eriragĩria kũmũtuga; arahũkaga nĩguo amũiguĩre tha. Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩ Ngai ũtuanagĩra ciira na kĩhooto. Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ arĩa othe mamwetagĩrĩra.
19 For the people will dwell in Zion at Jerusalem. You will weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the voice of your cry. When he hears you, he will answer you.
Inyuĩ andũ a Zayuni, o inyuĩ mũtũũraga Jerusalemu, mũtigacooka kũrĩra. Hĩ, kaĩ nĩakamũtuga rĩrĩa mũkaamũkaĩra amũteithie-ĩ! Na rĩrĩa akaamũigua nĩakamwĩtĩka.
20 Though the Lord may give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your teachers won’t be hidden any more, but your eyes will see your teachers;
O na gũtuĩka Mwathani nĩamũheaga irio cia thĩĩna na maaĩ ma mĩnyamaro-rĩ, arutani anyu matigacooka kũhithwo rĩngĩ; mũkaameyonera na maitho manyu.
21 and when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way. Walk in it.”
O na mũngĩkagarũrũka na mwena wa ũrĩo kana wa ũmotho, matũ manyu nĩmakaiguaga mũgambo thuutha wanyu ũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Ĩno nĩyo njĩra; gererai yo.”
22 You shall defile the overlaying of your engraved images of silver, and the plating of your molten images of gold. You shall cast them away as an unclean thing. You shall tell it, “Go away!”
Ningĩ nĩmũgathaahia mĩhianano yanyu ya kũhooywo ĩrĩa ĩgemetio na betha igũrũ, na mĩhiano yanyu ĩrĩa ĩgemetio na thahabu igũrũ; mũkaamĩte ta taama ũrĩ thaahu wa mũndũ-wa-nja hĩndĩ ya mweri, mũmĩĩre atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi na kũu muume haha!”
23 He will give the rain for your seed, with which you will sow the ground; and bread of the increase of the ground will be rich and plentiful. In that day, your livestock will feed in large pastures.
Ningĩ nĩakamuurĩria mbura nĩ ũndũ wa mbeũ iria mũhaandĩte mĩgũnda, nacio irio iria ikoima mĩgũnda ĩyo igaakorwo irĩ njega na ikaingĩha. Hĩndĩ ĩyo ngʼombe cianyu ikaarĩithagio kũndũ kũrĩ ũrĩithio mwariĩ mũno.
24 The oxen likewise and the young donkeys that till the ground will eat savory feed, which has been winnowed with the shovel and with the fork.
Ndegwa na ndigiri iria ikaarĩmaga mĩgũnda ikaarĩĩaga mahuti mathuuranĩre na irio huhe, ciaraganĩtio na hũũma na iciko cia tĩĩri.
25 There will be brooks and streams of water on every lofty mountain and on every high hill in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
Mũthenya ũcio gũkooraganwo mũno, rĩrĩa mĩthiringo ĩrĩa mĩraihu na igũrũ ĩkaamomoka, tũrũũĩ nĩtũgaatherera kuuma kĩrĩma-inĩ o gĩothe kĩraihu na karĩma o gothe gatũũgĩru.
26 Moreover the light of the moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD binds up the fracture of his people, and heals the wound they were struck with.
Naguo mweri ũkaara ta riũa, na ũtheri wa riũa ũnenehio maita mũgwanja, ũhaane ta ũtheri wa mĩthenya mũgwanja mĩgima, rĩrĩa Jehova akooha nguraro cia andũ ake na amahonie ironda iria aamatiihirie.
27 Behold, the LORD’s name comes from far away, burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke. His lips are full of indignation. His tongue is as a devouring fire.
Atĩrĩrĩ, Rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova rĩrooka riumĩte kũraya, rĩrĩ na marakara mahiũ na matu mathimbu ma ndogo; nacio iromo ciake ciyũrĩtwo nĩ mangʼũrĩ, na rũrĩmĩ rwake nĩ mwaki ũniinanaga.
28 His breath is as an overflowing stream that reaches even to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction. A bridle that leads to ruin will be in the jaws of the peoples.
Mĩhũmũ yake nĩ ta rũũĩ rũratherera na hinya rũkambata rũgakinya o nginya ngingo. Athũngũthagia ndũrĩrĩ gĩcungi-inĩ kĩa mwanangĩko; ekagĩra andũ matamu kanua nĩgeetha amahĩtithie.
29 You will have a song, as in the night when a holy feast is kept, and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a flute to come to the LORD’s mountain, to Israel’s Rock.
Na inyuĩ nĩmũkaina, ta ũrĩa mũinaga ũtukũ ũrĩa mũkũngũyagĩra gĩathĩ kĩrĩa kĩamũre; nacio ngoro cianyu nĩigakena ta ũrĩa andũ makenaga makĩambata kĩrĩma kĩa Jehova makĩhuhaga mĩtũrirũ, o ũcio Rwaro-rwa-Ihiga rwa Isiraeli.
30 The LORD will cause his glorious voice to be heard, and will show the descent of his arm, with the indignation of his anger and the flame of a devouring fire, with a blast, storm, and hailstones.
Jehova nĩagatũma mũgambo wake ũrĩ riiri ũiguuo nĩ andũ, na nĩagatũma mone guoko gwake gũgĩikũrũka, arĩ na marakara maingĩ na mwaki wa kũniinana, hamwe na mbura ya marurumĩ, na kĩhuhũkanio, na mbura ya mbembe.
31 For through the LORD’s voice the Assyrian will be dismayed. He will strike him with his rod.
Mũgambo wa Jehova nĩũgathethera Ashuri; nĩakamagũtha na rũthanju rwake, amaniine magũe.
32 Every stroke of the rod of punishment, which the LORD will lay on him, will be with the sound of tambourines and harps. He will fight with them in battles, brandishing weapons.
Igũtha o rĩothe rĩrĩa Jehova akaamagũtha na rũthanju rwake rwa kũherithania-rĩ, rĩkaahaana ta rwĩmbo rũrainwo na tũhembe na inanda cia mũgeeto, akĩrũa mbaara nao ategũtigithĩria kũmahũũra na guoko gwake.
33 For his burning place has long been ready. Yes, it is prepared for the king. He has made its pyre deep and large with fire and much wood. The LORD’s breath, like a stream of sulfur, kindles it.
Tofeti gũtũũrĩĩte kũhaarĩirio; gũthondeketwo nĩ ũndũ wa mũthamaki. Irima rĩakuo rĩa mwaki nĩirikie na rĩkaaramio, narĩo rĩrĩ na mwaki mũingĩ na ngũ nyingĩ, nayo mĩhũmũ ya Jehova nĩyo ĩraakia mwaki ũcio, ĩhaana ta rũũĩ rwa ũbiriti.
